The movie was filmed in Bulgaria so I guess that AKS-74s are Bulgarian Arsenal AR-F. Browning BDA looks more like blank-firing Umarex GPDA. Greg-Z (talk) 16:45, 5 August 2015 (EDT)
- And missile launchers look more like RPO-A 'Shmel'. Greg-Z (talk) 16:47, 5 August 2015 (EDT)
- About the Browning: it also can be a Bulgarian-manufactured Arcus 98 DA, based on Hi-Power. Greg-Z (talk) 16:56, 5 August 2015 (EDT)
- The machine gun has a top-mounted, curved-shaped magazine, so it's possible (only possible, not sure!) to be a ZB39, Bulgarian-issued version of ZB26 (Bren is another possibility but less credible). Greg-Z (talk) 17:13, 5 August 2015 (EDT)
- Bolt-action rifle, seems, some Mauser-variant. --Slon95 (talk) 09:21, 13 February 2016 (EST)

- Judging by the fact that it full-size and with characteristic buttstock (without featured a pistol grip), it is likely 1893 Spanish Mauser (as the most logical for Bulgaria). --Slon95 (talk) 11:08, 13 February 2016 (EST)

- Spanish M93 (and Turkish M93, a "cousin" of Spanish M93, that is more logical for Bulgaria), have straight bolt handle while the screen rifle seems to have a turned down bolt handle, like post-WW1 Mausers. Though it's possible to be a hunting conversion that often has replaced bolt handle. Greg-Z (talk) 11:19, 13 February 2016 (EST)
- The problem is that, the in-movie rifle has a "direct" buttstock without pistol grip, that is inherent only in a little early Mauser rifle variants. In addition, it is worth considering that the Spanish Mauser produced for a long time (almost prior WWII), so that bolt can be changed by a factory later, or simply during the repair (I saw the Spanish Mausers with curved bolt-handles). It may also be a Turkish contract Spanish Model 93 Mauser.
- P.S. I just think that the 1893 Spanish Mauser (or his Turkish contract version) is still logical to see in Bulgaria than Chilean or Swedish variant. --Slon95 (talk) 12:02, 13 February 2016 (EST)
